Under Pressure
DJ KOU-G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blood in my veins yeah it's ice like diamonds
Making plays
Making dough
Issey pleats with the Comme
Someone tried to call me
Phones on silent
Yeah I tried to focus
But I got a hundred problems tryna answer
Facetime shorty when we on the road
Play your cards right and you can get it all
Yeah I stay down I stay ten toes
Lights flash around fade away like smoke
Oh shit here we go another day another low
Blood in my veins yeah it's ice like diamonds
Making plays
Making dough
Issey pleats with the Comme
Someone tried to call me
Phones on silent
Yeah I tried to focus
Under pressure
But I got a hundred problems tryna answer
And she asked me for the time of day
I don't really know what to say
Gonna pull up to the motel hey
Come on girl won't you give me a break
Always tryna get me high now
Man I just wanna go and die now
You can call me when you've lost your head now
Don't give a fuck stuck in my bed now
Oh shit here we go another day another low
Blood in my veins yeah it's ice like diamonds
Making plays
Making dough
Issey pleats with the Comme
Someone tried to call me
Phones on silent
Yeah I tried to focus
Under pressure
But I got a hundred problems tryna answer
